MUMBAI, January 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

'Logically Stupid That's Love' Received Great Reviews From Readers

Living up to the expectations of the first book, Shikha Kumar's second book, 'Logically Stupid That's Love' also impressed readers and media across the world. The book ruled the fiction romance charts and was in the 'must read' list of romance fiction lovers. Readers can buy the book from Amazon.

The story revolved around an ambitious guy Kartik and his boss's daughter, the soft-hearted Sahana and their journey through five years of flirtation, love, rejection, anguish, self-discovery and combating the odds.

The book made a mark for its high entertainment quotient. Once again, Shikha encapsulated her message with wit, fun, pace and right portion of emotions. Zero sugarcoating of romance and no melodrama in the situations has made Shikha stand-out as perhaps, India's only Romantic-Thriller author.

The media reviews have been extremely encouraging:

- Maharashtra Times equated many scenes with film-watching experience

- Grahlakshmi was awed with Shikha's storytelling capabilities. The magazine mentioned that the story is full of 'tadkas'. They even promoted her as 'Grahlakshmi of the day' to express their fondness for her work.

- Kashmir Monitor cheered her for evading monotony in the fiction aisle and penning such a unique, beautiful tale.

- Sahara Samay was impressed with the balance of emotions and entertainment.

- Thnk Mkt Magazine applauded the book for striking multiple chords with the readers.

- WittyFeed complimented it as exceptionally simple yet the most beautiful love story ever.

In the blogger community too, the positive reviews have been ruling Indiblogger posts. From spreading the magic of love, to being compared with Yash Chopra romance, there has been an abundance of gratifying words for Shikha's work.

This book fetched her limelight with the film, television and web series fraternity as well. Media and Business Strategist Mayura Amarkant from AGENCY09 chalked out a strategy that was based on long-term steps that led to relationship-building and reach. Mayura worked hard to get the book on the shelves of a wide network of influencers in the world of films, television and web series. Through her efforts, the book reached top corporates across India. The entire strategy revolved around bringing the book to readers and influencers instead of focusing on short-term tactics. 

Several directors of TV serials mentioned that Shikha has the capability of effortlessly making ordinary situations look extraordinary. Indian Mom-connect network highly recommended the novel and marked it safe for 9-year olds to read since it is clean entertainment.

Her Twitter handle and Facebook page are always buzzing with warm messages of readers whose hearts were touched after reading the book. 'Logically Stupid That's Love', has positively affected readers in many ways. Right from making them believe in love to realizing their priorities, the book has transformed minds for the right reasons. 

When asked about the success of her books, Shikha commented that, "It is indeed overwhelming to receive this kind of love within just two years of writing. I am glad that I didn't give in to marketing stunts and allowed the book's popularity to grow organically. I love good stories and thus make time to write despite a high-stress job and loads of family responsibilities. I am glad that my stories are touching hearts." she said.

Here is an author who finds time to reply to each message sent to her by her fans. She believes that reciprocating is the least that an author can do for a fan.

Apart from being a contributing writer for magazine portals, she is also the editor-in-chief with an entertainment portal. She plans to use 2017 to write scripts and pitch to the industry. Her journey to her third book, tentatively titled 'Friend-zoned' has already begun.

About Author Shikha Kumar  

Shikha's a qualified IT Manager and an accidental author. Her first book 'He Fixed the Match, She fixed Him' will soon be adapted as a motion picture and that makes her the fastest film-rights selling debutant author of India.

She writes columns occasionally with DailyO (India Today), her TOI-Blog, Right Nailed and other famous forums. She's also a relationship expert and a traveler at heart.

In India, Shikha is represented by Mayura Amarkant, Media & Business Strategist - AGENCY09.
